Thanks, y’all. I’m already starting to see some of the silver linings. Providence is a funny thing: the sermon today was about sovereignty.

Prayers from here for you and yours, Rob. We’ve been there so we understand. We’ll pray that the Lord opens up really great opportunities for you.

CherylD, I just saw your post. Americans like to think we aren’t “Nazis,” but what did they do when you think about it? They embraced the eugenics movement, and we didn’t in the 30s. We did embrace it with abortion — big time!

Sorry to hear that, Rob. I hope your loss leads to an even better job somewhere.

NJLawyer,

Actually, America isn’t much better when it comes to people with Down’s. I’ve seen statistics ranging from 70-90% of how many babies with Down’s are aborted. Somehow that’s more palatable than knowingly killing an adult, but it still shows a very callous response to the most loving group of people in our world. I for one have only seen one Down’s child in the last ten to fifteen years.

Jon Rowe, I think your are correct that there was a disconnect between some of the Founders and the rest of the nation when it came to religion. I think the Founders realized that most people in America would think Christianity and decided not to clarify and/or enlighten them. They didn’t want to include “morality” in the Constitution — how could they? It’s a framework of our form of government and to remain flexible, they had to leave that out. I have often wondered if they had known what weapons would be developed (i.e, nuclear) if they would have done that.

RobHays, you have my prayers. Mumsee is absolutely right. It can be rough, I’ve been through this a few times, but I can honestly say that God has good reasons when he does stuff like this. It may take a few months, but you’ll be okay. So, when those discouraging feelings come — and they will! — remind yourself that something better is coming. Be open to using your skills in a different industry.

Mumsee, maybe you’re right. I do remember that they were planning to take babies on those planes with the liquid bombs last year. It just seems so evil to strap bombs on mentally disabled people and push a remote. We try to protect people like that.

LOST: yes! flashforwards solves the Walt problem. I’m glad there are others still addicted.

RobHays,

Rough but not the end of the world, and sometimes quite a good thing. Meantime, praying for you.

NJL, with the flash forwards, they can explain how the actor who plays Walt is 4 years older.

Also, to everyone: I’d appreciate your prayers, as I lost my job today. I’ve already got some leads, but it’s still discouraging. Thanks, y’all.
